Pyth Network: Revolutionizing Real-Time Data for dApps
Pyth Network has emerged as a leading platform for providing real-time data to decentralized applications (dApps) across over 50 blockchains. With the help of oracles, Pyth enables blockchains to access data from external sources and traditional databases, breaking free from their closed networks. Unlike other oracles, Pyth refreshes its data feeds every few hundred milliseconds, thanks to its integration with Solana, resulting in faster and more accurate data. As a result, Pyth has become the second-ranked oracle, securing 48% of all decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume worldwide.
Top Projects Leveraging Pyth’s Services
Pyth has gained popularity among blockchain developers due to its real-time data capabilities. Several top projects are utilizing Pyth’s services, including:
1. Synthetix on Optimism
Synthetix, a decentralized liquidity layer, has integrated Pyth’s oracles on the Optimism blockchain. It leverages Pyth data to power its ETH-Perps market, resulting in significant growth with over $40 billion in trading volume.
2. LayerBank on Manta/Scroll/Linea
LayerBank, a lending protocol on the Linea blockchain, relies on Pyth’s oracles for its price feeds. The reliability of Pyth’s data has facilitated LayerBank’s expansion to additional networks.
3. MarginFi on Solana
MarginFi, a lending and borrowing protocol on Solana, utilizes Pyth’s data feeds to track asset prices and support its lending and risk management architecture.
4. Drift on Solana
Drift Protocol, an open-source DEX on Solana, relies on Pyth’s price feeds for diverse markets, allowing traders to access various assets. Drift’s success is attributed in part to Pyth’s accurate and up-to-date data.
5. Kamino on Solana
Kamino Finance, a DeFi protocol, uses Pyth as its primary oracle to obtain real-time prices for mainnet tokens. Pyth’s data feeds enhance Kamino’s ability to provide liquidity and generate passive income for users.
6. Navi on Sui
Navi, a liquidity protocol on Sui, integrates Pyth’s low-latency price feeds to accurately reflect the value of digital assets. Pyth’s data enables Navi to enforce platform security mechanisms and protect its users.
7. Thala on Aptos
Thala, a DeFi protocol on Aptos, benefits from Pyth’s data feeds and also contributes as a data supplier. This partnership allows Thala to support price feeds for tokens built on Aptos, enhancing its offerings.
8. Mars on Osmosis/Neutron
Mars, a credit protocol on Osmosis and Neutron, selected Pyth as its main data oracle. Pyth’s ability to use multiple price sources ensures accurate and reliable asset pricing for Mars users.
9. Helix on Injective
Helix, a trading platform on Injective, relies on Pyth’s extensive range of price feeds to calculate the hourly funding rate of its derivatives markets. By integrating with Pyth, Helix offers a superior trading experience.
